This study is a single-center,blinded, efficacious, phase III randomized clinical trial initiated by investigators. The primary objective is to investigate the use of Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) in combination with Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) technique for left breast cancer treatment, compared to traditional laser alignment with free breathing …
This project aims to establish the cancer genome atlas and the platform of recurrence risk prediction specific for East Asian breast cancer patients. The study was planned to collect blood sample, fresh tumor tissue, and paraffin embedded tumor tissue from 2000 patients. Aims to identify unique genetic alterations in Asian …
The advances in early detection coupled with improvements in treatments have led to an ever increasing number of breast cancer survivors. New methods to improve outcomes, including strategies aimed at improving the quality of life and reducing the risk of other diseases, may complement the currently available treatment options. In …
Due to better treatment options and earlier detection, survival rates of patients with breast cancer continue to increase. As such, (late) treatment toxicity, (long-term) quality of life and the cosmetic outcome are becoming more important. Also, many competing experimental interventions (e.g. treatment, lifestyle interventions) for breast cancer are being developed, …
In the setting of radiotherapy as part of breast-conservation therapy for patients with early stage breast cancer, the novel planning and delivery method of intensity modulated radiotherapy is an effective and safe alternative to the commonly-used standard 3D-conformal external beam radiotherapy, spares more normal breast and lung tissue, and may …
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is increasingly used in breast cancer. The best proof of NACT efficacy is pathological complete response (pCR), i.e. the absence of invasive tumour on post-NACT surgical histopathology. While it is known that physical exercise can help patients to better tolerate and complete often harsh cancer treatments, it …
In the last decades, the proportion of breast cancer (BC) patients receiving breast-conserving surgery has increased steadily, reaching 70-80% in developed countries. Since positive resection margins are strongly associated with local recurrence risk, the goal of breast surgery is the complete tumor removal and most national and international guidelines recommend …
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of nab-paclitaxel (on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle) compared to the standard regimen of docetaxel plus carboplatin, both combined with trastuzumab and pertuzumab, as neoadjuvant therapies for HER2-positive breast cancer.
Researchers will compare the breath profiles of women with breast cancer and those without to determine whether there are disease-specific patterns that can be leveraged to facilitate breast cancer detection. Women with mammogram-confirmed breast tissue density undergoing standard-of-care breast cancer screening will be invited to participate. Those who provide informed …
This study evaluates whether radiotherapy can safely be omitted in breast cancer patients with T1-2N0 tumors who achieve a pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant systemic therapy and breast-conserving surgery
